Synopsis

1st-century Britannia is the setting for an epic and action-packed novel of tribal uprisings, battles to the death and unmatched courage in the Roman army ranks. From Simon Scarrow, author of the bestsellers The Emperor's Exile, Centurion and The Gladiator.

The 21st Eagle of the Empire novel. If you don't know Simon Scarrow, you don't know Rome!

It is AD 60. The hard-won province of Britannia is a thorn in the side of the Roman Empire, its tribes swift to anger, and relentless in their bloody harassment of the Roman military. Far from being a peaceful northern enclave, Britannia is a seething mass of bitter rebels and unlikely alliances against the common enemy. Corruption amongst greedy officials diverts resources from the locals who need them. For the military, it's a never-ending fight to maintain a fragile peace.

Now it's time to quell the most dangerous enemy tribes. Two of Rome's finest commanders - Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro - are charged with a mission as deadly as any they have faced in their long careers. Can they win the day, or could this be the last battle?

A stunning and unforgettable story of warfare, courage and sacrifice as brave men face an enemy with nothing to lose . . .

Goodreads review by Mike on August 18, 2023

Another cracker of a read by Simon Scarrow of my favourite Roman soldier friends - Cato and Macro. When I started reading I thought I may have read the book already. But surprisingly I was reading the follow up to the last Scarrow and this was only published in paperback this year. Two great battles......more

Goodreads review by Luke on February 16, 2023

I wasn't a fan of Simon Scarrow's writings before, though several years ago, I did read the third book of his Eagles of the Empire series, 'Where The Eagle Hunts', where his protagonists Cato and Macro are assisted in their mission by a young Boudica. I often wondered reading that whether their path......more

Goodreads review by Alberto on January 11, 2023

Estas novelas son todas más o menos iguales: Una sucesión de batallas, con una trama (a poder ser, con algo de intriga) relacionándolas entre ellas y p'alante. Pero bueno, me entretienen y es lo que cuenta.......more

Goodreads review by Recensioniconcise on November 06, 2023

La storia documenta gli avvenimenti descritti nel romanzo, sia la distruzione di Camulodunum che di Londinium. Le atrocità commesse da ambo le parti sono ormai storia. Scarrow descrive tutto con grande realismo. Spero che la sorte destinata ai protagonisti non sia altrettanto drammatica come quella......more
